Yesterday, Madison Police Chief Hester, District Attorney Gregg, Rockingham County Schools Superintendent Dr. Perkins, and other Rockingham County law enforcement leaders joined together for the School Bus Safety Press Conference.

As the 2026–2027 school year approaches, we want to remind everyone that the return of our students means an increase in traffic, school buses, and activity around our schools and neighborhoods.

Madison Police officers will be in the community helping keep students safe and enforcing traffic laws in and around school zones. Drivers are reminded to put down their phones, eliminate distractions, obey school-zone speed limits, and stop when required for school buses.

Our children should never have to compete with a driver's phone, distraction, or impatience for their safety.

When kids are near the road, your attention belongs on the road.

🚸Slow Down. Stay Alert. Protect Our Kids🏫
